Day 265: Utilities, Groceries, and New Tunes

Posted on | May 23, 2008 |

The only out-of-the-house shopping I did today was a quick trip to the grocery store because we were all out of milk.  The Husband paid a couple of utility bills today and gave me the receipts so I’ve included them as well.  My final spending of the day was in the form of a late-night iTunes shopping spree — but all of that was covered by my gift card balance so I had no out-of-pocket cost for the music.

Vitamin Cottage — $35.78

• gallon of Horizon 2% milk — $5.39
• Applegate Farm sliced roast beef — $4.75
• Applegate Farm sliced organic smoked turkey — $5.15
• bottle of probiotic capsules – $18.69

Home Phone — $32.07
One month’s worth of home phone (land line) service:  includes Caller ID and voice mail.  Also includes long distance service charge but no fees for long distance calls.  I’ll have to look into whether I can have that service removed from our service.

Verizon Wireless — $131.41
One month’s worth of cell phone service:  includes three phones sharing 700 minutes (321 minutes used) plus unlimited text messaging.

Water & Sanitation — $70.60
Two month’s worth of water and sewer service plus “operations fees” (we’re billed every other month).  Our water usage is down from the last bill but up from the same period a year ago.  Apparently we average 164 gallons per day.

iTunes — $10.61
